My 0.0001$ contribution:
I've also been running Linux 1.0.9, 1.2.13 and now 2.0.6 with the
AHA1542CF and only had problems when forgetting to terminate the
CD-ROM at the end of the chain [is has not internal resistors :-( ].
I never had problems with the HDs at the end of the chain as they are
internally terminated. In my case, the total length of the SCSI bus is
slightly below 2 m. I usually have two SCSI HD disks and the CD-ROM on it.
I remember several postings last year and the SCSI FAQ
comp.?.hardware.scsi
mentioning how sensible to termination problems the Adaptec cards were.

I've been running a AHA-1542CF since the 1.x kernel series with no trouble
at all. I know have two systems with them in there running 2.0.15 and
1.2.10. I did have a problem before with the scsi cable which I posted to
here - basically what it kept doing was writing to the hard drive in wrong
places, corrupting things when accessing the cdrom I have connected. Turned
out that it was the cable and I've never had any trouble since then.
Perhaps it could be the hard drive, but then again, I wouldn't know about
that - both my scsi disks are SCSI-2 and yours is a SCSI-3, perhaps it
doesn't like them for some reason?
